# OpenAlex Affiliation Dataset
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
> **1,557,802 unique raw affiliation strings** from 704,702 academic works published in December 2025, extracted via the [OpenAlex API](https://openalex.org).
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
Part of the **[LabID](https://github.com/labid-base/openalex-pipeline)** project — an open pipeline for building a knowledge graph of research laboratories.
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
## Quick start
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
```python
|
| 47 |
+
from datasets import load_dataset
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
ds = load_dataset("LabID-base/OpenAlex-Afillation", "2025-12")
|
| 50 |
+
print(ds["train"][0])
|
| 51 |
+
# {"work_id": "https://openalex.org/W...", "raw_affiliation_string": "Department of..."}
|
| 52 |
+
```
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
## Dataset statistics
|

## Schema
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
| Column | Type | Description |
|
| 63 |
+
|--------|------|-------------|
|
| 64 |
+
| `work_id` | string | OpenAlex work ID (e.g. `https://openalex.org/W2741809807`) |
|
| 65 |
+
| `raw_affiliation_string` | string | Raw affiliation text as written by the author |
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
## What are raw affiliation strings?
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
Affiliation strings are the institutional descriptions authors include in their papers, before any normalization or entity resolution:

+
Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brasil
|

```
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
## Use cases
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
- **Institution disambiguation / NER** — parse and normalize to known entities (ROR, GRID, Wikidata)
|
| 80 |
+
- **NLP training data** — multilingual academic text for span detection, entity linking
|
| 81 |
+
- **Bibliometrics** — institutional analytics, collaboration networks
|
| 82 |
+
- **Affiliation normalization** — training data for models like AffilGood, S2AFF
|
| 83 |
+
|
| 84 |
+
## Data source & provenance
|
| 85 |
+
|
| 86 |
+
**Source:** [OpenAlex](https://openalex.org) — fully open index of scholarly works by OurResearch. CC BY 4.0.
|

+
**Pipeline:** [labid-base/openalex-pipeline](https://github.com/labid-base/openalex-pipeline)
|
| 89 |
+
|
| 90 |
+
Each chunk is deduplicated independently. `work_id` is the first work in which each string appeared within the chunk.
